Hey Guys,

I needs some expert advise, I have virgin media and looking to by a Zgemma box and would like some help on getting the best box also, what lines would I need for it to record and watch at the same time.

Any help or advise would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

The H.2H is the one you want.

It has one DVB-C tuner (cable) and one DVB-S (satellite) tuner - so if you want to record one channel and watch another you will need a satellite dish feed too, along with subscription lines from a cable server and a satellite server. The premium satellite channels will not be in HD though.

There are no Zgemma boxes available that have two DVB-C tuners :( - so you will not be able to watch one cable channel and record another.
 
Would it be possible to wire two seperate dvb-c boxes with one cable (VM) feed in and run 2 boxes off one line, or would you need two lines?
 
You would be better off getting one of these with 2 cable and 1 sat tuner for £138

Technomate TM-Nano-SE M2 PLUS Enigma 2 Linux HD PVR TRIPLE TUNER Combo 1x DVB-S/S2 + 2x DVB-C Receiver

or
[h=1]Xtrend ET8500 2x DVB-C/T/T2 Linux Enigma 2 Linux HD Digital Receiver PVR Ready[/h]

Has anyone got hold of the zgemma H.52TC twin cable version
So that's a twin cable version, I wasn't aware they brought one out,
Interesting ;-)


Just copied this from zgemma

So looking at the spec is that not a sat and a twin cable receiver?

Hi Willo,

If I go with one of these boxes would I need to have 3 lines? 2 for cable and one for sat or just the 2 ?

Thanks

Most lines work for 2 tuners so you'll need one for Sly and one for the 2 Virmin tuners unless you get the Xtrend with just cable tuners, in which case you'll only need a Virmin line.

I've been in contact with AirDigital in China, and they say it won't be released until next May. I'm hoping to blag an early sample... :)

If you're using two tuners, just check that the server owner (who provided your subscription line) is OK with that - some need you to get a multi-room sub (not much extra usually). If you don't they might think you are trying to diddle them by running two boxes off the same subscription line and kick you off the server.
 
Odd there selling on Chinese sites but with minimum bulk orders of ten

Yeah, they are LISTED, but try to actually order some....... Just them trying to drum up some early interest (which has worked!).
 
Hi Guys,

Thank you all so much I really appropriate all your help, so my next dilemma would be if I went with one of the two boxes recommed by Willo which Firmware would I go for as I dont really know the difference and what is the USB sotrage used for if I have a HDD ?

Thanks
